egasso   10 #1 Posted October 18, 2016 Hello people  It may sound childish, but I had been doing some research on nootropics. Basically it's medicaments and supplements that boosts IQ, memory and other cognitive functions because of missing element in brain while aging. Now this topic went to sci-fi as well with movie Limitless, where main protagonist took overpowered nootropic pill called NZT-48. But this film is based on real life nootropics as far as I understand. Has anyone here tried DMAE or other cognitive function boosters and has something to say? I have difficulties concentrating sometimes and memory is not as good as it was in college days. Opinions appreciated!  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

apelike   10 #12 Posted October 18, 2016 Don't tell Maria Sharapova that, I think she is still banned because of one isn't she? ETA Aye she tested positive for Meldonium.  True but its not a substance that boosts IQ, memory or other cognitive functions and was developed for treating blood flow problems. Apparently she could have gained an advantage from extra oxygen in her blood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
